'Nine-O-Nine'

OVER GULF OF MEXICO, Fla. -- The Emerald Coast town of Destin, Fla., can be seen from the turret gunner's position on a B-17 Flying Fortress named "Nine-O-Nine." First Lt. Dan Montes, Air Force Research Laboratory, jumped out of the bomb bay March 3 to experience "living history" during a recent skydive. The aircraft is named by the Collings Foundation in honor of a 91st Bomb Group, 323rd Squadron plane of the same name which completed 140 missions without an abort or loss of a crewman.
